            <title>[DOCS-408] Need documentation on how to downgrade a Replica Set Member into an Arbiter</title>
                <link>https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/DOCS-408</link>
                <project id="10380" key="DOCS">Documentation</project>
                    <description>&lt;p&gt;Customer could not find any information on how to change a regular member of a Replica Set into an Arbiter.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;From the linked ticket, the following instructions were given:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Probably the safest way would be to start a new mongod in arbiter mode while the current mongod secondary is still running on the box. Once you have made sure the new arbiter is attached to the replica set and everything is running smoothly, you can shutdown the old secondary mongod. You will need to make sure the new process is starting on a different port to your old secondary.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One thing you will want to bear in mind is if you have your application connection string referencing the old secondary, you will need to remove this reference.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

                            <comment id="162997" author="kristina" created="Tue, 11 Sep 2012 15:23:40 +0000"  >&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/mongodb/docs/blob/master/draft/tutorial/convert-secondary-into-arbiter.txt#L61&quot; class=&quot;external-link&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;https://github.com/mongodb/docs/blob/master/draft/tutorial/convert-secondary-into-arbiter.txt#L61&lt;/a&gt; - might be better to do this as step 1, there have been some sharding bugs around removing a member then shutting it down.  However, theoretically they&apos;ve all been fixed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/mongodb/docs/blob/master/draft/tutorial/convert-secondary-into-arbiter.txt#L71&quot; class=&quot;external-link&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;https://github.com/mongodb/docs/blob/master/draft/tutorial/convert-secondary-into-arbiter.txt#L71&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/mongodb/docs/blob/master/draft/tutorial/convert-secondary-into-arbiter.txt#L153&quot; class=&quot;external-link&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;https://github.com/mongodb/docs/blob/master/draft/tutorial/convert-secondary-into-arbiter.txt#L153&lt;/a&gt; - these are a little weird, because drivers should automatically stop using the server. If you&apos;re connecting directly, you should probably modify your app before shutting down the server.  I guess I&apos;d move each of these up and say, &quot;If your application is connecting directly to this server... do something.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Other than that, looks good!&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
